Interesting that you do not believe this amount of standing water on the highway does not meet the criteria for ‘immediate intervention’ or pose any health and safety risk to pedestrians or motorists. This morning every vehicle driving through this water created a splash that covered the pavement, went into front gardens and unfortunately soaked several pedestrians walking past. Please fix this.
